Ello,

As the title says I am playing my first games on sat both a pretty much warband rules. 1 at 300 pts and 1 at 500 pts. (note you don't actually have to have a hero, a Champion can be commander in warbands. Also normal minimum unit sizes are different)

My 300 Pt list:

10x Saurus (inc Champion)

5x Skink Skirm (Stick + Board)
5x Skink Skirm (stick + Board)

4x Cham Skink
4x Cham Skink

298pts


500pt List:

Scar Vet (LA, GW, Cold One, Shield)

15x Saurus FC HW/S

5x Skink Skirm (stick + Board)

5x Cham's

1x Sally + handler

494pts

Playing against beastmen, skaven and HE. I can't decide whether to go scar-vet or skink priest lvl 2 with plaque for the 500pts. I am worried that I might roll spells of little use in such small games and make 25% of my points useless. I would like to use a hero though. I am going to coast the Scar-vet in with the Saurus and hopefully split aside to maul something at an appropriate time.

Any ideas? It's friendly but I wanna kill things lol. I have skink priest, scar vet (mounted or not), 20+ Saurus, 30ish Skinks and 2 sallies to choose from.

All the best and thanks
 
Lore of heavens is really underrated imo. Almost every spell has its uses, the worst possibly being Wind blast.

Well against skaven, a scar vet would chew up and spit out, beastmen however, are a combat oriented army, Exposing the weakness of all your opponents is quite hard at this points bracket. I'd back a scar vet untill you can squeeze in s Skink priest. Remember, if you're worried about bum spells (which after you play them for a while you'll realize they arent!) take the plaque of tepok, and make him a level 2. 3 spells means you're almost certainly getting either uranons, comet, or CHAIN LIGHTNING!!

*coughs* Sorry about that, its a good spell XD
 
And do not forget that Iceshard blizzard is one of the best spells in Heavens.

Ofc not -1 to hit me in CC?

Yes please!
 
Plus the -1 to leadership for those sallie caused panic checks!
 
Ok so I dominated last saturday. But my opponent really wasn't ready for it. He has a lot more of an idea of what is going on now. I will also be facing another opponent who has 500pts of Dwarves and Tomb Kings this Saturday.

500pt list

1 Skink Priest
lvl 2

15x Saurus HW/S + Standard + Musician

10x Skink Skirm (Blowies)

5x Chameleon Skinks

1x Sally + Snack

= 493pts
Is there anything you would change? Truthfully I am trying to avoid CC unless it has been brutalized by my ranged attacks first. Also very strong chance I will choose the heavans signature spell for -1 to hit to increase survivability in the Saurus.

I will also be potentially playing a 1000pt game. Any thoughts on this list?

Heroes:

Skink Priest (General)
LvL 2
Diadem of Power

Scar Vet (With Saurus)
BSB
Great Wep, LA, Shield

Core:
23 Saurus HW/S FC
10x Skink Skirm (Blowies)
10x Skink Skirm (Jav/Shield)

Special:
5x Chameleon Skinks
5x Chameleon Skinks

Rare:
1x Sally + Snack
1x Sally + Snack

Total: 962pts.

What do I do with the extra 38pts? +3 Saurus or + 3 Chameleon Skinks or a bit of both? There is 1pt spare room in the hero allocation so I can't really change that.
Also just to clarify the only reason I'm not forced to use the scar-vet as general (higher Ld) is cause he has the BSB which over rides that rule?
 
I would go for... ummm ... more saurus, looks like you have enough shooting.
 
The skink priest cant be your general, theres a character (the Scar vet) with higher LD meaning he has to be the general Im sure
 
The scar-vet is BSB, he cannot be the general.
 
Ah I didnt know if him being the bsb would over ride that XD
